Fresh off a quarterfinal finish in Melbourne, Coco Gauff will try to carve out an authoritative win over Elisabetta Cociarretto in the second round of the 2026 Qatar Open.
Recommended Pick: Elisabetta Cociarretto -5.5 Games
Potential Payout: $220 for every $100 Bet (+120)
Current Form:
Gauff seeks a deep run in Doha after falling short in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Australian Open. Gauff had dispatched several quality opponents on her side of the bracket, including Hailey Baptiste and Karolina Muchova, before she ran out of firepower against an in-form Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-2 in the final eight. Gauff is 7-2 in the season, posting a 68.8 percent first serve success rate and converting 39 percent of her breakpoint chances.
Cociarretto earned her slot in the main draw of the first WTA 1000 event of the year in Doha after being granted a lucky loser nod following a loss to Varvara Gracheva 6-7,2-6 in the final qualifier. Ranked No.57 in the world, Cociarretto has compiled a 10-3 record this season and already won a WTA Tour title at the Hobart International, where he stunned Iva Jovic in the final 4-6, 4-6.

Our Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Cociarretto offers solid value on the spread line at +5.5 games (+120) because of her promising start this season. The Italian has won 10 of her first 13 matches in 2026 and is breaking serve at a high rate of 51.8 percent.
Gauff is obviously expected to come out on top in this match-up, especially after demolishing the Italian in their last two face-offs. On the other hand, no one can deny the noticeable improvement Cociarretto has shown in the first month of the season.
It might not be a landscape-changing surge, but there’s no question that Cociaretto has become someone to be reckoned with early this season.
